ok so i updated ,via OTA ,to version 5.1.1
after this i decided to try to root it using a flashable file (odin) and now the touch screen doesnt work.
i dont know what else i could possible do, i tried factory reseting even though i knew it wouldnt work since i flashed a boot.img file
so my last guess would be to flash the stock firmware, i have the stock firmware for 5.0.2 but you cant downgrade so i really need the G925PVPU2B0F7 firmware
if anyone knows where i could get it or any other ways of fixing it please say!

yeah, it recognizes my phone but i cant really do anything with it, according to smart switch, my phone is fully updated so i cant change anything and emergency recovery only works in a specific situation
the reason i needed the stock firmware for that version was because while attempting to get root i flashed (with odin) a boot.img and now the phones touch screen wont work
It took a month before the firmware was released. If you have Sprint insurance you can get a replacement for $0 dollars or $75 if you dont. You have to visit a repair store to start the paperwork. Jus claim, the phone touch screen didnt work after the update.

If a odin firmware was available as a backup, I'd definitely give it a try. I think it might work being US cellular but I won't be trying it without a plan B lol. I'm sure one of these eager guys will jump out there and give it a try. I'm waiting patiently.

Hey, I did the same thing you did and someone had told me about this..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...t/5-1-1-stock-of7-kernel-root-7-4-15-t3150350
Download the stock kernel from this forum above.
I flashed it via Odin and now have my touchscreen back. Now it's not a total fix but I'm now writing you this on my edge with the touchscreen working. It's the only thing available right now for us. Two things that don't work are the back and recent apps buttons and when you lock your phone the screen won't come back on without restarting into download mode then hitting restart phone from there. So I've just been keeping phone plugged in for the most part because of this so screen won't go off.

Yup 5.1.1 rooted. Both work just each one has its problems. I'd rather have working data using the stock of7 kernel tho. The us cellular kernel has working buttons and screen comes back on after it goes off but no data so if you could talk to some people about this maybe we could get a working kernel with root where everything works, which would be awesome.

I believe there is one actually posted in the General section.... I just read through it a few minutes ago... Here is what I think you are looking for... I tried to update sooner but had some HS about having to wait 5 minutes between posts.... This is NOT ROOTABLE and will LOCK bootloader... I know you are stock and this won't apply to you but want to say it for others.....

That message is because you didn't unlock the boot loader.
Ya thanks prdog, I saw in the threads of the JB roms they generally have the tethering opened up. Just what I needed
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I think I relocked the bootloader and then got that Verizon message after the next reboot. Once you've unlocked and tweaked things, don't relock.
Hey Dog ...what do you mean by using a tether widget?
On stock roms you can use a toggle widget to activate the hot spot.

Hi,
Yesterday, I had an update from 4.1.1. to 4.1.2. I'm running the stock rom. After I ran in the update, I re-rooted using CF-Auto Root.
Today, I thought I'd do a factory reset. Now, my phone won't detect any SIM card (I've tried 2) and although it seems to detect my wifi, it won't connect.
I had the phone on airplane mode when I selected the factory reset, but I wouldn't have thought that would matter.
Interestingly, I can now select airplane mode to turn on, but it then ghosts out and I can't turn it off.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Please help!
I'm inclined to think this is a software problem as both sim and wifi worked perfectly before the factory reset.
I've tried registering with SamMobile to download the stock rom, but their registration page seems to be wonky. It complains I haven't completed the anti-spam task, but this area of the form is just blank.
yep.. thats a loophole in google... try doing it again... this time with cwm.. if that doesnt work.. u have to get the stock rom via odin

I just flashed the exact modem I had before, and my baseband, imei etc. are all coming up unknown.
When I enter *#1234#, my cp number is also unknown.
Do roms also include modems? I was once told they didn't. Sorry, I've never flashed anything before besides when I was getting root access

One further question, then I'll go hunting ....
I have the GT-N7105T. I know the T variant has different radios. Some people say you can use N7105 roms and some people say no.
Can I safely use an N7105 rom on my N7105T? The phone is pretty useless at the moment but I'd rather not brick it.

There's your problem!
The difference between the regular Galaxy model and the T variant is the modem. Telstra 'tweak' it on a hardware level for their NextG network and it means that the performance of the modem is affected to varying degrees (severe in your case) if you use a non 'T' modem.
There should be a modems thread, there should be a N7105T modem. I'll have a look and post back if I find one.

I've tried flashing the modem but unfortunately it had no effect.
I don't have the phone on me so I can't confirm this, but I'm starting to have scary thoughts about the efs. Unfortunately the only changes I've ever made to my Androids was just to root, and I didn't even know what the efs was.
Thing is, after my update my phone worked fine for over 24 hours before I reset it. Does this sound like the efs? How can I tell if that's the problem?
I guess I had to learn somehow, and I've definitely learnt ...
Would it be possible for me to get a copy of an efs folder from another Note 2 and adapt it to mine?
For anyone else who may come across this, I solved the problem by downloading the stock ROM from sammobile and flashing that.
I have also now flashed TWRP and have taken a nandroid including the EFS.
We all have to start somewhere, but hopefully my bad experience will prevent someone else's.
I'd like to make this particular thread about the current status of root, bootloader, and recovery. Feel free to post here or PM me so I can keep this thread as up to date as possible.
Keep in mind our devices will likely take longer to gain these mods due to Verizon locking us down more than other carriers usually. We likely won't have an unlocked bootloader ever.
This is for the Verizon Galaxy S5 ONLY! And now AT&T S5, please welcome our brothers!

I know The T-Mo version has been rooted with CF-Auto-root by Chainfire. I think as of now that voids the warranty and trips the KNOX security so i do not think paypal fingerprint auth will work.
I am really just looking for root and hopefully on that doesnt throw Knox haywire.

You could claim to have done it and say it works fine, just to get some other poor soul to try it, and if they don't come back wanting to kill you, should be safe to try....unless they realize what you did, and tell you it's fine just to brick you S5 too. On that note, it worked fine. :angel:

No need to. The phone is great straight out of the box. I have been rooting phones since hoc evos, and I'm finally happy with phones today. Additionally, once you root it, it's a pain in the butt to update the software and many other little things. So that's why

With the newest software, root is somewhat useless. Xposed may not work correctly, no OTA, plus note 5 has the electronic root thing, so when you tooth the phone, it is tripped and can never be returned to original state, thus, service providers will know it is rooted and may deny repair, replacement.

Xposed may not work correctly, no OTA, plus note 5 has the electronic root thing, so when you tooth the phone, it is tripped and can never be returned to original state, thus, service providers will know it is rooted and may deny repair, replacement.

You do realize sprint doesn't even remotely care right? They just ask that you have "stock" when you have a problem and need the device serviced. However if you are stock rooted this has no bearing whatsoever.

I don't think he's worried about Sprint. He just wants stock.
I already have PK1 MM ROM on my sprint s5, but I can't flash lollipop ROMs and Odin keeps failing.
How should I do that? Thanks.
you cant. there is a physical "fuse" of sorts in the phone that once you are on PK1, you cant go back. All you can do is root, twrp and flash 6.0 ROMs

yeah, there are several of wifi hotspot apps out there that work on 6.0. Might want to poke around in the themes and apps section. Sometimes people get a little anxious about talking about hotspot apps because of the debate over it circumventing carriers money making abilities and that violates the TOS of XDA, but the last thing i saw the mods on here were ok with talking about it
I did, from PK1, and PL2 to OK4. So it is posible. Try redownloading/Odining OK4. Also there is a PK1 ROM with hotspot modded.

you can only odin back if you didnt take the OTA. So, it depends really
Maybe that, because I downloaded the full Tar.

here is the list of sprint basebands just for reference in case youre interested
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/SPR/
and youre in the 6.0.1 family and if you got it that way, youre likely not going to be able to downgrade (if thats what youre wanting to do), but you can root by flashing the PCA baseband then follow the 6.0.1 root instructions (im not sure, but i think theyre still just installing the appropriate TWRP, boot to twrp and flash supersu while in twrp)
